Still didn’t make the trip to the National Archives at Waltham, Mass. Still working out details of how to transport ourselves there. Instead we achieved a different goal for this trip. We went to the Apple Store on Boylston an purchased a Magic Track Pad to use with the Lion OS on our iMac. Also spent some delightful time in Boston Commons and the Public Gardens. Didn’t ride the Swan Boats but had fun watching them. Dined at Joe’s American Bar and Grill on Newbury Street at Exeter. Discovered their best kept secret on the menu. Incredible Crab Cakes. Explored Lambert’s on Tremont Street and came home with Spinach and Cheese Ravioli for tonight’s dinner.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
